ocamlopt: win32+mingw: -lgcc?

ocamlopt: win32+mingw: -lgcc?

[Philip A. Viton]

Following Xavier Leroy's suggestion, I'm trying to work with the 
mingw port of ocaml for win32. I've got a fairly complete cygwin 
installed, including, I think, all the packages mentioned in the 
instructions. But when I try to work wiht ocamplopt I get an link 
error referring to -lgcc (not found). A look though the cygwin 
distrib for "*lgcc*.*" finds nothing. Can someone tell me what 
package this is part of?

Thanks!

That would be libgcc.a, and it's part of the gcc-core (Cygwin) and
gcc-mingw-core (MinGW) packages.

Thanks, Igor! I wasn't getting the include library's location right 
(I'm working from a batch file, not a bash session); with your info, 
everything's working as it should. Thanks again!
